哥林多后书 7:15-16 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Corinthians 7:16

I rejoice therefore. The "therefore" concludes the whole paragraph, but is omitted in many manuscripts. I have confidence in you; literally, I am bold in you; i.e. I feel courage about you. The phrase in 2 Thessalonians 3:4 expresses a calmer and less hazardous trust. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 7:15

And his inward affection ... - He has become deeply and tenderly attached to you. His affectionate regard for you has been greatly increased by his visit. On the meaning of the word here rendered “inward affection” (σπλάγχια splangchia, Margin, bowels) see the note on 2 Corinthians 6:12. It denotes here: deep, tender attachment, or love.How with fear and trembling ye received him - With fear of offending, and with deep apprehension of the consequences of remaining in sin. He saw what a fear... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 7:16

I rejoice, therefore, that I have confidence ... - I have had the most ample proof that you are disposed to obey God, and to put away everything that is offensive to him. The address of this part of the Epistle, says Doddridge, is wonderful. It is designed, evidently, not merely to commend them for what they had done, and to show them the deep attachment which he had for them, but in a special manner to prepare them for what he he was about to say in the following chapter, respecting the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Corinthians 7:12-16

2 Corinthians 7:12-16 . Wherefore, though I wrote so severely to you It was not only or chiefly for the sake of the incestuous person, or his father; but to show my care over you; in the sight of God Who hath committed you to me to be instructed and directed. Therefore we were comforted in your comfort In hearing you were made happy by my care of you; and exceedingly the more for the joy ye gave to Titus, because his spirit was refreshed When ye received him with affection, and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 7:2-16

Joy at the Corinthians’ repentance (7:2-16)Again Paul appeals to the Corinthians to open their hearts to him, and not to feel hesitant because of the accusations his enemies have made. Nothing in life or death can separate him from them. He assures them that he is overjoyed at the news he has just heard concerning them (2-4).Paul recalls the restlessness he felt in Macedonia as he awaited Titus’ return with news from Corinth. He recalls also the joy he experienced when Titus recounted how he... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 7:15

And his affection is more abundantly toward you while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.Paul, in this, spoke of the obedience which had marked the conduct of the Corinthians toward the preaching of Titus, and also a tactful word of Titus' appreciation of their receiving and obeying him.Obedience of you all ... Far from meaning "everybody in the church with no exceptions," the expression "you all" is merely the grammatical plural of "ye" as it... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 7:16

I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.The victory had been won; Titus' mission had succeeded; but the problems that remained could be dealt with in confidence. The many were back on the right road; and, with this fundamental achievement, Paul was fully confident of the future of his precious converts at Corinth. Filson spoke of this as "unqualified assurance"; but encouraging words to weak and sinful Christians like those in Corinth could never have been intended to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 7:16

2 Corinthians 7:16. I rejoice therefore, &c.— The address of all this part of the epistle is striking and excellent: this verse in particular finely introduces what he had to say in the following chapter, and is strongly illustrated by ch. 2 Corinthians 9:2-4. Inferences drawn from 2Ci 2 Corinthians 7:6-11.—From the consideration of the different effects of worldly and of religious sorrow here recorded, the Apostle with no less truth than holy art insinuates to the Corinthians, how really... read more
